Artist's Description
Marine Corps Air Station Tutsin was established as a Navy lighter-than-air base and commissioned September 1942. Occupying 1,383 acres of agricultural land acquired from Irvine, the station supported observation blimps and personnel necessary to conduct antisubmarine patrols off the Southern California coast during World War II.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Navy asked the U.S. Congress for authorization to purchase an increased number of airships. By June 1942, Congress had authorized the construction of 200 airships. During the war, Goodyear built a total of 168. At peak production, the company was turning out 11 airships monthly.
Six of these airships could fit into each of the two hangers constructed in Tustin. Labeled the world's largest unsupported timber constructed buildings, the massive structures were built at a cost of $2.5 million each. Each is 1,088 feet long, 178 feet high and 297 feet wide. This translates to being as high as an 18 story...
About Guy Whiteley
I was raised in northern New York State before joining the US Navy where I became drawn to the technical aspects of film photography. During my travels I learned composition techniques, developing, and printing from serious amateurs and professionals. I eventually became more interested in the artistic side of this hobby and continued to explore more creative aspects. My interests focus (no pun intended) on the out-of-doors beauty of our world, both natural and man-made. I hope you enjoy viewing my images as much as I have enjoyed capturing them. All images are �Guy Whiteley and may not be copied, reproduced, or redistributed in any manner without express written permission from the photographer. NOTE: MY COPYRIGHT NOTICE...
